During a performance together with Suzi Dian, Robert Plant commemorated Mimi Parker, drummer and singer of the band Low, who died on Saturday (November 5th). The two musicians from Saving Grace covered Parker’s play “Monkey” at the King’s Theater Glasgow on Sunday (06 November).
Opening the show, Plant shared, “We were drawn to the music of the amazing duo Low from Duluth, Minnesota, and tonight we know that we sadly lost one of those two people. So we’re giving our songs to Mimi and Alan tonight.”
The former Led Zeppelin singer had already covered the piece on his solo album “Band of Joy” in 2010.
Countless others mourn Parker’s death after her cancer
Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy honored the singer with an audio recording of “I Hear… Goodnight” as part of his Starship Casual newsletter.
Producer Steve Albini tweeted: “I heard the news in the most undignified circumstances, surrounded by degenerate, stuck and swearing people, in a conference room in Deerfield. I was stunned for a moment, the sound of her voice echoing in my memory, beautiful and heartbreaking. Bon voyage, Mimi Parker. Rest in peace.”
I heard the news in the most base circumstances, surrounded by degenerates, stuck and cursing, in a conference room at Deerfield. I was momentarily overwhelmed, the sound of her voice resonant in my memory, beautiful and heartbreaking. Godspeed Mimi Parker. Requiescat.
